After looking at another thread where the OP received some F/T that looked like there were less than humanely euthanized, I thought I would just put out there that its cheap to humanely fresh kill your feeders...
The entire setup cost less than 20.00.
I purchased this glass jar with a metal lid from Walmart for 4.92(Kitchen).

I purchased a 2 pack of valve stems from the auto department for 2.03.

I then bought a CO2 tire inflator from the bike section for 11.38.
It comes with a 16g but it fits a 12g flush. The 16g is better for tires but hard to source.

Steps are simple.
1. Drill a hole slightly smaller than the valve stem "collar" in the lid and through whatever sealing material. Mine was waxy coated paper.
2. Insert the valve stem through hole.
The CO2 inflator has a trigger so you can slowly put them to sleep and then let them pass and feed fresh killed HUMANELY. I understand that if you have 200 snakes this could be expensive but if do it properly, it shouldn't be that much.
So I only euthanize 2-3 at a time because of feed schedule. So 1 12g cartridge with do 2-3 sessions, possibly more or less if you use different sized chambers . A 25ct of CO2 is 13 dollars. So about 50 cents a cartridge or .25 cents a session. You can put quite a few per session because you are removing oxygen so it doesn't affect the outcome.
